At last week’s marathon press conference, Donald Trump surprised conservatives and liberals alike with an answer about illegal immigration.
When asked how he planned to proceed with DACA — the program that provides legal status to minors who were brought into the country illegally — the president said: “To me, it’s one of the most difficult subjects I have because you have these incredible kids — in many cases, not in all cases. In some of the cases, they’re having DACA and they’re gang members and they’re drug members, too. But you have some absolutely incredible kids — I would say mostly — they were brought in here in such a way. It’s a very, very tough subject.” Ultimately, he said he would deal with their situation “with heart.”
Despite the fairly moderate answer, liberals quickly seized onto Trump’s use of the word “gang members” and ignored the fact that he said most of the kids were “absolutely incredible.”
Read about how members of the Hispanic Caucus used the quote to attack Trump and ICE on the next page:
People in your community are afraid to leave their homes they are afraid to answer their doors? Well, if they weren’t criminals they would have nothing to worry about now would they?
They did that when he talked about the illegal Mexicans coming across the border to. Even though he said some were probably good people, they left that part out also.
WHAT is the Hispanic Caucus?? Aren’t they elected to represent ALL the people in their district??
They don’t represent all hispanics, they don’t represent me, it’s racist to have a Hispanic Caucus anyways…
No long relevant.
Buh bye
A White caucus isn’t allowed so no others should be either.
They encourage separatism amongst Americans.
maybe if they would just learn to be American Congressmen and not separate themselves as Hispanic Congressmen because not one of those congressmen are from Hispaniola, mauve they would get a sit down with the POTUS
Total policy tools
Concerning Scott, he must not know that Congress has Hispanlcs, Black Americans and Women as members. Maybe he should do a little research…
